Lyrics Cain and Abel - Louis Armstrong

Now have you read of the fable of Cain and Abel?
Once they were in a scandal that shook the town.
Cain became mighty jealous of brother Abel
So he rose up and smote Abel down.
Now the Lord sure was hopping mad
And yet he was plenty sad
To think that he had a man like Cain.
The Lord spoke and showed his wrath
And Cain walked the path
That led to a life full of pain.
You can't run from the shadow of retribution.
If you're bad then you gotta pay for your wrongs.
Let yourself take a lesson from Cain and Able:
Don't lament, be content
Don't resent what the Lord has sent
And you'll find that you're bound to get along.
